He's pretty damn good, but I play in the same division as him and the standard isn't great frankly, HBHS development is a bunch of out-of-their depth 15 year olds usually and Cambridge struggled to put together a side this year. A ton against boys high 1st XI is impressive though, they've almost got a monopoly on cricketers in the Hamilton area. The ****s.

With seven batsmen back in the dressing room and 50 runs still required, the home side ran out of conviction.

It was a disappointing finish to a game which promised drama to the end but Otago coach Vaughn Johnson was unapologetic.

"I had a debutant and 18-year-old left to bat and I didn't think we had the firepower at that stage to bring it home," Johnson said.

"I thought we played a lot of cricket in this game and I didn't want to lose the game.

"We gave it a decent crack until we were seven down and decided that was it."

But...it was Canterbury though, who won't be in title contention. Should always go for the win against the likely cellar dweller until you're all out tbh.

Don't squander the gold of your days making a shrine of cricket videos, trying to improve the hopeless failure, giving your life away to the Blockys, the Devciches and the Weerasundaras! Surrender your devout little cricketing heart to the inured agribusinessman.

Heard that Auckland strolled away with the title in the National U 18's in January . And Auckland Schools thumped Canterbury and Hamilton Schools in the Frank Grattan Cup in March. The Auckland U 18 openers chased down CD's respectable 135 odd in a 20/20 fixture at Lincoln in January in only 11 overs.Auckland must have some decent lads in this age bracket.N Z relies increasingly on major cricket schools to coach,package and deliver.

Well yeah Tendy is probably better than Bradman, but Bradman was 70 years ago, if he grew up in the modern era he'd still easily be the best. Though he wasn't, can understand the argument for Tendy even though I don't agree.
